Topic 1: How to create and use a run-time object inspector
Speaker: Rick Dermont, RomtrenD Systems

Rick will explain how to build a run-time object inspector which, when passed any object, will create a dialog box to edit the published properties of that object. The object inspector has the functionality to save the object and its published properties in .frm-like file and load the file at a later time. The unit uses the RTTI information maintained by Delphi and the functionality in the Delphi TypInfo unit. Rick will also a demonstrate an HTML form builder based on his run-time object inspector.

Rick Dermont is a former programming instructor and has been programming in Delphi since 1996. His company is RomtrenD Systems.
